V5I: Progressive Drop Python Script
Saturday, June 17th, 2006I wanted to create a heap of objects for a picture today but Vue’s drop puts all the selected objects on the same level. I could have selected and dropped each one by hand but that would have been laborious and I was feeling lazy so I created a Python script to do the hard […]
Memorable Characters the M&S Way
Friday, June 16th, 2006A little idea for creating memorable characters that came to me while watching TV. Describe what makes your character stand out from the ordinary in the style of a Marks & Spencers advert.

I still haven’t released my new website but I’ve only 1 page left to go before I can release it into the wild so maybe tomorrow, if I don’t melt overnight, I let it loose.

Fire, Brimstone but No Smoke
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006Been trying to build a volcanic eruption in Vue. I’ve managed to get a passable magma burst but smoke is proving somewhat harder to get a nice effect for. It’s rather annoying as in places the smoke looks really good but when it thins out a bit its obvious how its made and the whole […]

It fixes a problem I found with particles not being sized properly when they are emitted or recycled. If select an object in your scene and then run the script you will get the a 150 frame roman […]
